Israel is urging India to officially designate Hamas and other groups opposing Israel as terrorist organisations, citing India's regional influence and the significance of its stance. Senior Israeli officials highlighted that Israel had previously listed Lashkar-e-Taiba as a terrorist group and now expects India to reciprocate by sanctioning Hamas. They emphasized the interconnectedness of such groups and warned of their ties to transnational criminal networks, including those linked to Iran. Israeli officials believe that a formal move by India would send a strong message across South Asia, influencing neighboring countries and reinforcing a united front against terrorism.
